Guys... seriously... who the hell did you think was buying albums and making massive hits out of songs that consisted of "I WANNA FIND THE PLACE I'VE WANTED ALL ALONG, SOMEWHERE I BELONG!" and "I'VE. BECOME SO NUUUUMB!". It's not necessarily your poppy garbage, but let's not pretend Linkin Park were pushed to international stardom with brilliant, original lyrics for adults.
They've clearly peaked in 2004, but it was bound to happen for a band that's gone on for over a dozen years. Add to that, rock is clearly on the decline as well.
I truly agree with you! I will be the one waving my cane and trying to whistle when they finally come to perform their 40th anniversary tour!
I cant think of any band the last past 12/13 years who has more fame and success than LP, they are one of the most popular bands of the 21st century i think if they continue to make EPIC music in these days of pop/dance music LP will continue to be big, especially if they try and get the older fans back with more new fans.
